Dokusei and his gang were able to make it to the courtyard to see All Might in action. Bakugo started moving when they saw the Symbol of Peace trapped by the villain's monster and gatekeeper.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY, DEKU!" Bakugo shouted as he landed an explosive blow on the void man and slammed him to the ground, hand on the villain's neck guard.

Ice from Todoroki covered the monster. "So I heard you people are here to kill All Might."

Dokusei and Kirishima went for the leader, the latter missed and stopped while Dokusei kept up the attack, never letting the villain relax. "Bastards like you are never going to kill the Symbol of Peace!" Dokusei roared out as he attacked

The leader was clearly able to keep Dokusei out of reach. "Nomu... take out this annoyance; then take out the explosive brat." He dodged more of Dokusei's attacks. "We need our escape route back."

Dokusei heard the ice breaking and the beast screeching. His target stopped moving for a moment, and Dokusei pulled his right arm back. "It's now or never..." Claws dripping with venom, he yelled, "Paralysis Strike! Full Dosage!"

"Nomu..." Dokusei's strike landed but his target was behind a wall of black muscle. Dokusei eyes widened with fear as he looked up at the towering beast.

"Sumiteru get out of here!" someone called. Before he could move, he was stuck and sent flying straight into Bakugo. They would have been flying for longer if it wasn't All Might catching them.

"Sumiteru, Kacchan!" Midoriya called out. "Are you two alright?!"

Bakugo got up with no injuries. "Of course I am, you stupid Deku!"

Dokusei, unfortunately, was holding is right arm. "I think I broke my arm." He looked at the Nomu; its movements were definitely slowed by Dokusei's venom. "I think my venom saved me at the right moment. His movements are slow, definitely."

"Can you fight?" Kirishima asked. A simple head shake was his answer.

"It's still five on three." Todoroki added.

Midoriya went wide-eyed at that. "If we work together maybe w-"

"NO! GET OUT OF HERE!" All Might interrupted Midoriya. He put his left hand out to stop them from fighting. "GET SUMITERU TO SAFETY!"

"Things wouldn't have gone so well if I hadn't stepped in." Todoroki got his ice ready.

"All Might, you're bleeding and I think you're..." Midoriya stopped himself from continuing.

"Right you are, Todoroki! So thanks for that! But fear not! Sit back and watch a pro get serious!" He clenched his left hand into a fist.

"Nomu. Kurogiri. Go take care of him. I'll handle the brats." Dokusei saw the leader wave them off before he rushed towards them. Before he could get far, All Might jumped into action. Nomu intercepted and matched All Might blow for blow.

The blast from each blow sent everyone back, unable to get close. "Didn't you hear me? His quirk is shock absorption."

"So what!" All Might yelled back; his fists moved to his opponent, but the beast's fists matched the hero's. "It "absorption" not "nullification"; that means he has a limit!" Everyone was getting pushed back as his attacks became more ferocious. "If he was going to beat me at one hundred percent then I'll just go beyond that!"

"His punches are becoming faster... how?" Dokusei saw All Might pushing himself further. "Holy shit... t-they're just not random either..." He saw the Nomu's defenses beginning to buckle fast. "All Might planned his punches' placements to open up his opponent's guard..."

"A real hero is always ready to smash through trouble!" Nomu's guard was wide open for All Might's final blow. "You may have heard the words before, but I'll show you what they really mean! Go Beyond, Plus-" the hero's fist embedded itself in the Nomu. "-Ultra!!" The whole building shook as the Nomu went flying out of the U.S.J.

Smoke was covering the field. "It was like a finishing move from a video game; he beat the shock absorption right out of him..." Kirishima was in awe as was everyone else.

"Against that power the regeneration wasn't able to keep up with the rush of attacks..." Bakugo added.

"That's the Symbol of Peace for you..." Dokusei clenched his arm as he got up. "Looks like the smoke's clearing. Look alive, we're not out of the woods yet; we still have two more to deal with." Dokusei got into a fighting stance the best he could. "I wonder if my venom helped at all, probably not..."

"I certainly have gotten weaker." All Might's voice came out through the smoke. "Back in my heyday, it would have taken five punches, but that..." All Might tightened his fist. "That was over three hundred mighty blows." The two remaining villains saw the dominating presence of All Might. "Well now, villains, how about we hurry up and finish this."

"You cheated..." That caught Dokusei by surprise. "You're weakened?!" The leader went into his rant of how unfair this was and that All Might cheated. "He's not weak at all! They lied to me!"

Dokusei looked at All Might. "Why isn't he attacking?" He looked back to the villains as the leader was having a breakdown. "He could easily take him out..." The walking biohazard scanned the symbol of peace's body; he had a blood stain on his side. "Is he too hurt to fight...?" Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Midoriya fidgeting. "You know something, don't you, Midoriya...?"

"Right... let's pull back we're not ready for this." Todoroki pointed his body away from the fight.

"He's right; come on, Sumiteru, you're already hurting from your last fight." Kirishima was trying to convince the toxic boy. "Now you're even more of a liability, same with Midoriya; what if you two got kidnapped or something?"

"I know; you're right, but something's up. All Might should have dealt with those two by now. Why is he just standing there?" Dokusei pointed out that All Might had in fact not moved a muscle.

Midoriya gripped his fist more, his eyes never leaving All Might. Kirishima waved at Dokusei. "He's probably giving them a chance to surrender or is catching his breath?" He began to walk away with the others. "Come on; All Might's got this, and Ashido must be worried sick about you."

Dokusei released a heavy sigh. "Fine..." He started to walk with them while staring at his arm. "Mimi is going to kill me when she sees this." He looked back at Midoriya, seeing the fellow green haired boy hadn't moved. "Mordy, let's go."

The next thing he saw was the two villains charging at All Might, then he heard Midoriya launch himself at them. "MIDORIYA!" Everyone saw that Midoriya crossed the courtyard in an instant. "What is that idiot thinking!?" Midoriya readied a punch at the void, as a hand came through it.

Just before they made contact, the crack of a gun went through the air. "Sorry, everyone." More gun fire was set off. "We're a little late, but we brought everyone we could."

Dokusei looked towards the main entrance, seeing a small group of pro heroes. "President of class 1-A, Tenya Iida reporting for duty!" Iida yelled out as he stood with the pros.

Dokusei sat in the nurse's office. Recovery Girl had sealed up his wound, resetting his arm, and took some of his toxins to help the leader of the White Vipers. The fact that she'd live was a weight lifted off his chest. The toxic boy was in his own room; Recovery Girl's main office only had two beds, which was the same with this room.

He didn't have time to talk with Mina, but the look on her face showed more than worry when she saw he was injured. Dokusei didn't register the door opening when a pink blur tackled his side. "Dokusei, are you alright!?" Mina practically shouted into his ear, as he was also caught in a death squeeze.

"Mina, arm. Pain. Ow..." Dokusei's whole arm screamed at him. Mina realized that and let go.

"Sorry..."

Dokusei waved her off. "It's fine; everything's healed. It's just sore and tender right now." He looked at her, seeing she was still distraught. He pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry I got hurt, Mimi."

"It's not your fault, Doku..." She returned the hug, and Dokusei felt her hands trembling. He soon felt her tears on his shoulders. "W-When I saw you go into that portal, my worst fear was that you... you..." She clenched to Dokusei more as she was unwilling to utter the words. "I don't want that..." She took a moment to compose herself. Letting go of the hug, she stepped back. "I've been trying to actually tell you this for years now... but after today, I can't live with the amount of regret if I never told you..."

Dokusei didn't say anything as he braced himself for her confession. "I love you, Dokusei."

"I know..." Dokusei looked away from his best friend, his fists clenching the sheets, not before seeing a tear leave her eye. "I don't know how long you've been in love with me, but I've known for almost two years now."

"Since middle school, so almost two years..."

"I am very sorry, Mina, but I don't return those feelings." He couldn't bring his eyes to hers, who's most likely had the dam break. "I've always seen you as my sister, as my personal hero. It just feels wrong to me..."

"I-I had a h-hunch that my f-feelings were one sided." Dokusei dared to look up. He saw many tears running down Mina's face as she tried to keep a smile. "I-I just d-didn't want to b-believe it." Hiccups interrupted her words.

Her hands covered her face as she eventually broke down completely. Dokusei tried to lay a hand on her shoulder, but the moment it made contact she ran out of the room. "Dokusei Sumiteru... breaker of young maiden's hearts..." He leaned back into his bed, covering his eyes with his forearm, as he finally let his own tears free. "I just hope we can still be friends..."
